About
Ruijue Dan is a rising leader in bioinspired materials for gastrointestinal and soft tissue repair. Her research centers on developing advanced, stimuli-responsive biomaterials—particularly bioadhesive hydrogels and nanofibrous collagen membranes—engineered to overcome the harsh physiological challenges of the stomach, such as extreme acidity and mechanical motility. Dan’s major contributions include the design of a mushroom-cap-inspired, hyperboloid-shaped drug-laden bioadhesive hydrogel for endoscopic delivery to repair stomach perforations, a breakthrough that directly addresses the failure of conventional coagulation in acidic environments. Her work on aligned nanofibrous collagen membranes derived from fish swim bladder further demonstrates her ingenuity, creating tough, acid-resistant sutures capable of pH-regulated wound closure for both gastric and tendon injuries. With her top-cited paper accumulating 74 citations since 2022, Dan’s research is rapidly gaining recognition for its translational potential. Her innovative use of natural biomaterials and bioinspired architectures positions her at the forefront of next-generation surgical repair strategies, offering safer, more effective solutions for complex internal wounds.
